Y2J fans rejoice: the ‘Highlight’ is back with an all new DVD/Blu-ray, The Road Is Jericho: Epic Stories and Rare Matches From Y2J, set for release on March 16th.
This release is a little different from the classic “where they grew up, how they broke into the business and where they are now” documentary-style release the WWE usually put out, and that’s a good thing.
In The Road is Jericho, we join Y2J in his limo on route to a...

To anyone who’s never seen or had the fortune of being at an actual WWE live show, let me tell you, it’s something else. Especially in the UK where WWE live shows are always something special. WWE only travels to the UK twice a year, and only the most hardcore of wrestling fans seem to attend these RAW and Smackdown tapings, so combine the hunger with the passion, and what do you get? You get liquid gold.

Another year has come and gone, and it’s been a strange one for the company of World Wrestling Entertainment. We saw the rise of a new star in the name of Daniel Bryan, the return and dominance of the Beast, Brock Lesnar, as well as many other fantastic events, but all in all, the year has been unpredictable. If you had told me in 2013 we’d be getting a lot of these matches… well, I’d probably stare at you quizzically and...

2014 is the year of many rising stars in the WWE – Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Bray Wyatt, Rusev and many more made their big splash this year, and for some, Battleground was the culmination of that. The World Heavyweight Championship was on the line in a fatal, four-way main event: Dean Ambrose finally got his hands on the scummy little Seth Rollins, and we crowned a new Intercontinental Champion, among other things. So, let’s...

You almost have to feel sorry for Dave Batista. Here’s a guy that made his way up through the company, from working with Reverend D-Von to getting his big break in Evolution alongside some of the biggest names in the industry. From there, Batista became a bona fide main eventer, headlining PPVs and holding both the World Heavyweight and WWE championships numerous times. Yet somewhere along the way, fans fell out of love with ‘The Animal’ and...

Whether it is celebrating a WWE cameraman’s birthday, bouncing beach balls, beer baths (not recently anyway) or tearful tributes these are probably not what you would expect to see in the WWE and under normal circumstances you would be right. But in the case of this new WWE home video release, these things are in fact just the tip of the iceberg!
The purpose of this release is to lift the lid on what goes on in the arenas after the cameras stop...

While it’s easy to think of Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin, The Rock and John Cena as the biggest names to ever grace a wrestling ring, when it comes to actual in-ring performance there’s always another name thrown into the mix – Shawn Michaels. He may not have crossed over into the mainstream as an action star, he never had the bodybuilder type look or anything like that, but you always knew that once that bell rang he would put on a...

While the Best PPV Matches sets are generally of a good standard and always provide a good few highlights of a WWE year, it’s safe to say that 2013 provides more than most. With guys like CM Punk and Daniel Bryan on top, alongside new blood like The Shield, arguably the in-ring quality of matches in 2013 was better than ever. Of course, this depends on your own personal taste, but there’s no doubt that the excitement, athleticism and drama...
